The other day I was cravinggggg {insert: hangry} deviled eggs. I don’t really fancy “gourmet” deviled eggs. Avocado, bacon, jalapeño are all great on their own but when it comes to a deviled egg, just give me the classic version. What can I say, I like tradition.
So this particular day, I boiled my eggs, gave them an ice bath, and started the peeling process. Normally my eggs peel fine (tip: add baking soda to the water while they simmer) but these were pesky little fellers. Needless to say, I had 5 hard boiled eggs that were not going to be capable of housing the yummy filling. So, I got creative and decided to marry egg salad and deviled eggs.
Eggs are an excellent food to work into your ketogenic diet. They’ll zero carb and full of healthy fat and protein. They’ll fill you up and sustain you through the day. Hard boiled eggs are eggcellent snacks to meal prep. Often times, my lunch consists of some HBE, pepperoni or salami, olives, and cheese!
It might not be original (I’ve honestly never heard of or looked for a deviled egg salad recipe) but this recipe is GOOD. And even better, it’s EASY, low carb, and keto! This makes a small amount, about 1.5 cups so it’s perfect for meal prepping lunches or snacks!
You could eat this in lettuce cups as a sandwich with a slice of bacon and tomato on top. You could use cheese crisps to dip in it. Or you could just eat it with a fork like I did! No matter which vessel you choose, you’ll love this easy little salad.
